Maki, who didn't perform well, thought he was going to play, but Suzuki said, "Aoki-san, we need the height of the field now, so please go down and rest first." ”

Aoki hadn't been bad before, grabbing 4 rebounds, scoring 6 points, and 1 assist, and was a little surprised to hear that he was going to be off the court, and pointed his finger at his nose and asked, "Me?" ”

Suzuki nodded in confirmation and said, "If you practice your shooting percentage a little higher, I can consider extending your playing time." ”

Aoki's face collapsed suddenly, and when he began to practice shooting a lot, his level did improve a little, but the shooting percentage in the open position was always less than 5%.

Dahe hooked his shoulder and said, "It's okay, go back and practice more, maybe after this hurdle, your hit rate will be much higher all of a sudden." ”

Aoki's eyes lit up and he asked, "Really?" ”

Taihe nodded, "Really." ”

Everyone else was covering their mouths and laughing. Aoki is a hot-blooded fool, a tendon and a little forgetful, and he never needs to think of a second way.

Suzuki arranged: "Miyagawa-san plays center after playing, Maki-san plays second center, and the main task of the two of you is to protect the rebound, and you can take turns to card the opposite No. 5." Then, on the outside, we're going to shoot more threes, and this lineup, we're going to play around threes. So, Endo-san, you have to be replaced too, and Mizuhashi-san plays. If Shuiqiao is blocked, Lantau and Dahe, I hope you can also take turns to shoot three points from the outside. ”

Imai rested for a long time, and at this time, he said, "Mr. Suzuki, I am going to play too." ”

Suzuki shook his head and said, "Judging from the current situation, Sunrise West is not our opponent, and there should be no doubt about winning." Now our goal is to try out as many different lineups as possible to prepare for the official game. All, unless we are behind the score and need to chase the points, Imai-san, you probably don't need to play again today. ”

Imai was a little disappointed, but still thanked Suzuki for his confession of how he used it, and said, "I see." ”

Imai's friend Aoki slapped him and teased, "Ha! You just obediently accompany me on the field! ”

Mizuhashi said at the same time: "Yes, we won't give you a chance to play!" ”

Imai jumped up all of a sudden, not because he was stimulated by their words, but because his back was really painful, and he yelled at Aoki, "Stupid! Don't be so forceful! ”

Amid the laughter, Taihe returned to the field with Miyagawa, Maki, Lantau and Shuiqiao.

Miyagawa's playback suppressed Sunrise West's counterattack and shifted the center of gravity on the field back to the outside.

However, because of the key point of connecting the inside and outside lines, in the small forward position, although Dahe only mainly controls the ball and assists, he completely suppresses the opposite ace Okabe in defense, which makes Sunrise West's offense very unsmooth, so the score of the two teams is getting bigger and bigger.

Halfway through the second half, the score came to 71-58, and the defense on both sides overwhelmed the opponent's offense, but Mizuhashi's stable three-point score still extended the advantage for Xiangbei.

Coach Tanaka had to send Arakawa and Ishii back on the field, and replaced the substitutes No. 7 and No. 10.

No. 7 Morita and No. 10 Fujita, a big forward and a scoring guard, played very the court, but it had no effect, and they went down with almost zero data.

Arakawa's re-appearance gave Sunrise Nishi a strong point to score, and after sitting on the cold bench off the court for a while, his physical strength recovered a lot, and more importantly, his mind was a lot calmer, and he rarely reluctantly projected when shooting.

Suzuki didn't make a substitution, but just arranged for Maki, who was about Arakawa's height, to pull to the outside to defend, and let Lantau follow Ishii when defending.

A simple adjustment of the defensive position made the counterattack momentum of Sunrise West once again suppressed.

Arakawa and Ishii, who reappeared, continued to score, but each of their attacks was difficult.

On the other hand, Xiangbei, even if the scoring efficiency is not high, it always controls the score difference at about 10 points by relying on Shuiqiao's three-point shot.

Coach Tanaka assigned Arakawa to use his height to defend Mizuhashi, but Lantau and Taiga shot one after another, hitting three points, and even Maki also used a feint to shake Ishii in an attack, and easily scored 2 points with a mid-range shot.

There are so many pitchers in Xiangbei?

The old coach Tanaka has a bit of a big head. Originally, in the face of a projection-type team, Sunrise West was not afraid at all. With one of the best centers in the prefecture (the first center is undoubtedly Atsushi Shihara of Shoyo), Okamoto, Sunrise Nishi is very good at rebounding control, and as long as the projection team feels cold, it will be killed by Sunrise Nishi's counterattack every minute.

However, the strong point of the Xiangbei team in front of him is also the small forward position played by the center and the captain and ace, and the center still has a slight advantage on the west side, but the strongest scoring point has been completely strangled, and can only rely on the unstable play of rookie Arakawa to score.

No. 9 Ishii is the second highest in the team, and he is a very optimistic seedling in Tanaka, with fast speed and first-class reactions. But Ishii was just pulled over from the track and field team by Tanaka at the end of last year, and he played basketball for a short time, and his experience was not as good as that of Arakawa.

However, there are no outstanding players on the bench in the sunrise west, although all of them are not bad in height, but they are all decent in terms of technology, and they don't make many mistakes on the court, but if they want to play a beautiful offensive cooperation, there is no hope.

The game was in a tug-of-war and came to an end.

The final score was 82-77.

Arakawa fought to get rid of his strength, but the score was still Xiangbei leading.

When saying goodbye, the old coach Tanaka said to Suzuki sincerely: "In today's game, Xiangbei has taught me a lot. Suzuki-kun, you're not simple. ”

Suzuki replied with trepidation, "You're too old." ”

Tanaka shook Tanaka's hand vigorously and said, "There is no prize!" Young people should be energetic and overly modest, like a bad old man like me, it's not good! I was very impressed with your on-the-spot command and the training and use of the substitutes! ”

After saying this, Tanaka turned around and left the Xiangbei Basketball Stadium with the players from Sunrise West.

By this time, it was already dark, and the street lamps were on, stretching their shadows long and dim.

The Xiangbei players in the stadium were all at the door at this time because of the queue to say goodbye, Suzuki rubbed his somewhat sore hands and muttered, "This is the strength that a bad old man should have?" He turned back to Dahe and said, "Leave a few people to clean the arena, and then go back early to rest." Don't get too excited tonight and sleep well. Tomorrow's three games will be a double test of will and physical strength. ”

"Hey!" The Xiangbei basketball team, which won a victory, was full of momentum.
